I'd like to say that it's 'unbelievable', but unfortunately nothing surprises me anymore. Total disdain for everyone is the status quo.

Guys send an email asking when it will come out . Also email your fleet manager about the 42 days . It says under exceptional circumstances it won't be granted . Ask what the definition of exceptional is . If you don't send an email , you are not helping your self . If you do you may not be but at least you might be .

When I interviewed many moon ago....
 

TWC
When I interviewed many moons ago someone did ask about the minimum 8 days off a month written in the OMA. This was the response.
"Well, yes it is written there solely because Emirates needs to be able to act swiftly to pick up canceled orders of aircraft from other carriers. Right now our pilots are enjoying between 14-18 days off a month. We have been in business a long time and we have never seen a roster with 8 days off. 8 days off would be under exceptional circumstances and very temporary."




I now believe "Exceptional Profits" = "Exceptional Circumstances."

There was also 10 minutes dedicated to the amazing profit share program.
"It' like a 25% pay raise!" Still waiting for that little gem......

P.S The past two years has been mostly 8 days off.


I also believe any new hire will only go to expansion not relief in our unrealistic schedules.

8 days off a month has AAR written all over it.

Email is here.

Omg

They could have at least worded it like we had a rise in some, instead of nothing :ooh:

3% pay raise and a reduction from 92 hours block to 88 hours block in a 31-day month. You're so kind, EK. :rolleyes:

Guys you got mail....big fat ZERO;)

Liar. ;)

There is no pay rise. 3% is the step in the contract!

Where are all the Company apologists on here now?

What a ******* joke!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
3% you got be kidding!!!

I expect each and everyone to respond with the third key from top left in June.

Pick your worst flt and by that let's all send a clear message!

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: :mad:

3%
 

Not a fkng percent! No inflation correction, nothing. Im really pissed off now, and will go sick....

The only tool we have...

N.:ugh:

Guys please stop quoting the 3% as per the email.

It isn't. That is the contract step.

You got Nada. Nil. Nothing.

No dressing it up!

This just goes to see ho far their heads are in the sand.

0%.............

Stunned.......

Watch out reserve pilots

Duly noted and I stand corrected. In any case, I guess we should feel privileged to be working for these sons of motherless goats. What an insult.

Omg...Its a shame. 3% standard pay rise will not even cover my grocery shopping in this expensive part of the world.

Interesting, I was sat in a waiting room at a medical centre today and got chatting with a young chap who was joining FlyDubai as a pilot. I asked if he intended joining Emirates or Etihad eventually. His response was along the lines of "No way would I join EK with the bad press on prune....".....so the adverse publicity is having a palpable effect on the pilot community at large.

There are still plenty of pilots joining EK. I have no idea what they are thinking or where they come from but they obviously didnt do their homework.

'Going sick is the only tool we have'. Er, no it isn't. That just screws your colleagues and achieves little. However, when a few more pilots decide to leave for the bus around STD-60, after the cabin crew, then the message might get through, especially when they run short of buses and drivers. Don't work days off, write to AS and JA about the lack of salary increase and finally, do nothing above and beyond what you're contracted to do. Do it professionally and with as large a safety margin as deemed appropriate.

Remember, your legal report is 60 minutes before departure. Several of our flights depart at 0700. If you're carrying out any duty at the behest of the Company before 6am after a day off, and I guarantee that's exactly what you'll be rostered before those early mornings, you are violating your day off and the OMA. So, put your money where you mouth is and either grow some balls, put up or shut up!

Whinging on here, as we've just witnessed today, achieves very little.
